Brett, I am going to visualise a successful end to the lawsuit, in YOUR favour! That's just ridiculous, the landlord wanting to charge you for a something completely not your fault!

When we had a house fire in a rental in CT, due to an old, non-serviced, crumbly firebox in the furnace, our uppity NYC landlord started talking lawsuit the night of when we called to tell him what had happened. The fire chief was there, overheard, took the phone and told him he was lucky we were awake when it happened or he'd be looking at possible wrongful death suits!

Be careful with the prednisone; that can be nasty stuff. Have you looked into a good massage therapist, acupuncturist, and/or osteopathic doctor for manipulation? I've had good luck with all of them, at various times, with pain, tingling, etc. Also, stop any repetitive motions yo may have been doing and/or give those muscles you used, carting the canoe around, a rest!**BG**

It is fun to finally be able to settle in and start married life, isn't it? Rog and I have reached our 25th, as of today! May you and Wakana look back someday and marvel that it's really been that long, as I am at the moment.:-)

Hang in there; things have always worked out and I am sure they will this time, too.
